SWLDEN. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. ► STOCKHOLM, JUNE 21.—10 order to give you a correei ac: otert 0; the shocking outrages that were yet.t iday per pe rated by in incensed populace, I must advertato the r.mote causes. of Ahem. It "is well kne n, tleir on Pence Augustenthaeg being declared Crown. Prince, ant thereby beeaming the adopted heir to the Tinca e, a desperate faction was formed ae-inst him, obvtously.to set aside the choice of the counts)', and to procure the nominatien of a Prince who-was likely to become - more subservient to their system i ef policy. To' t hem rhe dawning virtues of the Prieca, which would have shone in their meri dian si lendaur in the King,' were odious, and ton verted into -arrimes. .The Prince, on his arrival in the capital, endeavoured•to . conciliVe the affections of the people, as the bet means of ensuring a happy reign, and promoting the intereSts , of the . country. I have frequently -seen him visiting . incognitum the hospitals and prisons, and doing every thing in his power to alleviate the sufferings of the wretched. lle vas also in the habit of inspeCting the protisions and necessaries in the public stores destined for the. use ot a the army, and of exposing the nefarious prac ticesof jobbers and contractors; as also the provi siona•exposed to public sale, or such as were, at a season of unpatalleled, calamity, distributed gratui tously to the pools. By these eels -of charity and condescension, he was beloved by the lowertranka of the people but incurred the jealousy and resentment_ of some, who conceived they had, from their rank and great affluence, paramount claims tosonsideraa lion. Among the most conspicuous of this descrip tion of nobility, were the families of Fersen and Piper. Jealous of the increasing popularity of the Crown Prince, and apprehettsive that they would, in the event of his being King, lose their consequence in the Governn,ent, they combined' with others whom they had gained overdo their party, and en deavoured, by intrigue and corruption, to bring the young.Princa into contempt, and to thwart every measure that tended to insure his elevation to the Throne. The funeral procession of the Crown Prince arrived ht re yesterday.. It was led by Count Axel Fersen, in a carriage drawn by six horses. An immense asseTnblage of people had collected. NO symptoms of riot or outrage were obEerVable until the ctiiksc had rrached New-street (Aygatan), when the populace began tb a hips and shout at the Count,' who did not seem to suppose that the indignity was 'directed h;m ; but on a stone being thrown into !the wriag', Ow Count pot his h ad out Dt the win dew, and it I may judge filen his gestures, which weie too .ran: cant to be. misraaen, set the mob at .defiance. This exasperated them to such a &glee, that they discharged a volley of startles at the coach, tare of which .struck tJie Count. in the face. The Colmt. immediately ordered the postilions to st6o,- jumped out of the coach, attd with great difficulty reached the nearest house. .At that moment Ban in Silveisparre, tire Adjutant General, arrived, and on deMandieg the Cause, of the'riot, the general . clamatirtn-w'as, " Count Fersee has" murdered the Crown Prince: Silver sparre then -told thema that the King had ordered him to 'declare, that the Count -should be arrested and tried. The mob then buz zaed, and. began tit disperse.' Ilia 'carriage had in the mean time advanced a little, and stopped in the Square.- In half an hour after the Count came out of the hot c, and in approaching the carriage, the nrob suddettly, reified upon' him, tore the . star trom his coat, - pelted him With stones, and murdered him,. So ferocious were the assassins, that they tore_ the lothes off. the body of the Count, and ex posed. his naked corpse in the street. Tie Life- Guards came up---the people were told to diserse, but in vain;_ they pelted the Officers, &v. used Most threarenng langtale respettieg the Queen and COUH'ESS Piper, and became more and More out rageous. The soldiers fired, and a great many were shot. The Council of State assembled. Countess Piper, sister of CUunt Fersen, was arrested, as Well as Mr. Rossi, principal physician. Of the' deceased Crown_Prince, and sent to the fortress of \Vaxholm. The insurgents, on being informed of these pro-. ceedings, aed that Count Fabean Fersen had resigned his office as Lord Chamberlain, the public tranquil lity was somewhat restoted. In tl.e night the mob attacked Coruit Uglas - s's howe, and broke all rite window s, but did no further daniage, To-day can nons are platted in •tics squares, and, orders have been issted for several regiments to march with ex peditiou to the capital. • It is somewhat remarkahledhat Count Fersen, who had resided aeeeral years in France, and was, from the elegance of his manners, and extraordinary • pc - compliibinntS, a great I . avoitrite at Court, was the person who, in the habit of a coachman, droVe the unfortunate Louis XVI: - and his Queen from Pat is to Varences, wheae they were arrested in their ilig))t from blood-stained fang's of .the most fe rocieus tyrants that ever disgraced humanity ! This geeerouseathia Mag,na nimoua service alone, entitled Count Fersen to a better fate; and whatever mat have been his fittings, his memory, it is_hoped, will be 'coeval with that. of - the illustrious Personages, who 'were no less conspicuous for their virtues, than la mented for their misfortunes. , , • On Monday morning last a grand rowing 'match took place for twenty guineas aside. The match had beep previously agreed upon between the Fox 'and Westmorland. Boat. Societies • and at half-past eight o'clock two tvlie - rries, ith four men each and coxswain, slatted from Westminster Bridge to row aoiitst, tide to: utney Bridge:. treat skill and dex terity were displayed by both patties, but the Vox Wherry got ahead at starting, and kept the lead the whole-of the way. A great.deal of motley was pend ing on the above match ; three of themen were so exhausted that they the boats ; and on their. arriyal : at Kew found necessary to have me , . dical assistance to them, Not withstanding the early hour at willch they s:tarted,. hundreds : of spetiators assembled along 111ilibank, _and . the river between the lat:id , ••:!s ofWesi mins; er and Battersea was almost Covered with boats. , . e,terday morning fifty, rna,te convicts were cob ye) ed to kbe Dundee.A.rms, Wapping, to be shipped for Skewess, W,wotk npou tj)e.

Mr. * READER moved that a Warrant of Attorney, granted by the defendant to the plaintiff, should be set aside in the following circumstances. The-de fendant having two bills, amounting to 421., which he wished to get discounted; applied to the plaintiff for.this purpo4e, who consented to discount the bills, the defendant taking 221: in cash, and the remainder injewellery. Of these terms the defendant was obliged to accept-, but on inquiring into the value of. the articles of jewellery he had received, he found they were not worth the one third of the s'tm he . had been charged for them - . In these circumstances; he did what was incumbent on him as an honest man. He ,tendered‘ back to Mr: Roberts the 221. and the jewellery, on his restoring to him the two bills, and giving up the Warrant of Attorney, which 'be had - granted him: This, however, Mr. Roberts refused to agree to.—Rule to shew cause granted. ppcmy FOR ENCOURAGEDISNT OF CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE CHILDREN OF JEWS: Mr. GURNEY applied on the part of a Jew of the name of Isaacs, for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, for bringing up the body of his son, a youth not fifteen yearS . .of- age, for the .purpose of having him deliver - - ed up to his -.father's custody and keeping.- The, father was a slopseller, &c. at Chester, and about two years ago, being t hen in prison for debt, the boy .in question had left the house, in consequence of a. quarrd u ith- some-of the other children: The father did not hear of his childfor some time, but at length wn given to understand that he was in the'service of a Medical (.;entleman,. on.Thwer Hill, where he was Well treated. :It was not for a considerable time afterwards that the father - ascertained that his son had left his place, and, after the most anxious in quiry, he had lately discovered that he was in a school, or in some way 'under the care and protec tion of a Society for the encouragement of Christi anity among the Children of Jews. There could be no doubt that the father had the undoubted right to the-custody and keeping of his own child. He had applied to the Master of the School, and also to se veral Members of the Committee, begging that he might be delivered up to him, but this had been re= fused. It appeared even that they had removed .the boy, into the country that hiS father might not have the opportunity of seeing him. He had i)- 7 plied for this purpose, and the answer was, that if lie ehose to- go:200 miles to see the boy they would permit him to - do so, and if it should appear that he did. not re :iain in their care ,of his oi.Vit free wril; that they woi . ild deliver him up to his fatlier.:. He presumed to think, ho`wever; fhot the fat her. had a right to this indelgence going 200 miles" to obtain it. He applied tot the Habeas Corpus to be' diretted to the Master of the SChool aid three Members of the Committee. _ Lord ELLBVI3OIIOUGH.-" The boy bas been two years 'from übder the service of his father." R~r. Justice LE 1 - ILAN . C.--.." And that too because he could not maintain hint". Mr. GURNEY.—" The father was prison. He is now in business again, ana is anxious to have his son . with who might he ueful in carrying on the bu,ines.'" Mr.Juitice LE 13t..ANc,-...." The boy remains where be is of his own fret wish." Mt. Justice Gliosc.-." And why should - we re -move him front so sate a custody, whereho is willing to remain ? Accor4rtig to your own account of the matter, he.is now under much better care than that to which you propose to send him.".. GbasElt said, that on thii - principle, Jewish parents were liable'to have their children taken away from them. LArd Ett.m.:Bottou6n.—" This is not a case in which the child was taken away. You would be more . torreel in Sayiht (he child had beep abandon ed by hiS father.. And now, when he has been able to .procure a safe and comfortable asylum, you apply to take hitin away froin it without his con sent. Have you any case, without at all touching on `tlie plea of religion, where such a thing ever occurred ?" Mr. GU RNEY said, he made his application solely on the right of the father to .have his son.delivered up to hind. The' father swore in his affidavit, not that the child had been left without prote6lion, but that he had left the house in consequence of a quarrel with another of the children. Mr. Justice GRosE.—" We issue these writs for the benefit of the child, and here we will beStcon suit his interest by allowing -him to remain' where he is." . . GURNEY- " Mr. GUItNEY" It .does not.appear, nor are we sure, if the boy remains in his present situation of his own free will. _ Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" On the, shewing . .6f your own affidavhs it appears that he does." Mr., GURNET•—" They have not allowed the fa ther to see him." Lord ELLENBOROU6I7.•—•" They have offered to do so, and even to deliver up the boy if it should appear that he did not continue there of his own free will." Mr. GURNEY—" Yes, but to have seen him the father must gone 200 miles." Mr. 'Justice BAILEY—"- The father's guardian ship of the boy ceased when he was fourteen years of age." Lord EGLENEOROUGIi—" The boy was left un protected by his father two years ago. He haS since that time been fortunate enough to find,a place where he receives support, protection, and educa tion; and can we, in the exercise of our sound judgment for the benefit of this boy, take him from this protection which he .has fortunately found, and 'send him back to a situation where he may be again exposed, even to the chance of being once more re duced to the state from which he has been rescued ? Mr. Justice LE BLANC . —" There would have, been a great difference in tke case, if the boy had been, inveigled away. Here he left his father's vo tectiotiat a period when it could no longer avail him." • Mr. Justice GactsE--," lithe child had wished to be removed, that Would have been a different ques tion ; we are in the use of granting these writs for the benefit of the child only."-Rule refused. - TIM ICING V. rINi4ERTY. Mr. CURWOOD Moved to have the trial in this case postponed till the Sittings after next Term; on the ground of the absence of material witnesses; for the defendant ; among others, on account of the absence, in Ireland, of Mr. Ponsonby, Mr. Foster, &c. He moved this., on amended affidavits, stating lbese Gentlemen to be Material• witnesses to prove many of the fads in the application. Mr. Curwood.ob served, that in the present indiatment, the usual prance of setting out particular parisof the publica tion as libellous was, not adopted, but the whole publication, consisting of many folios, was given. 'l'he publication' commenced with stating the appre hensisin of the defendant on his proceeeding-wit h the expedition to Walchereo,where he had gone with the view of writing 4nd publishing a narrinise of . the ex pedition ; and then proceeds to express .his convic tion that this had proceeded from personal animosity entertained against him by Lord Castlereagh ; a sus picion which ,he goes on to justify by a statement of fads. It would, therefore, be a question with the jury, whether these circumstances, stated as faEls; were true or false; for, upon their truth or false hood,.must the malignity of the-libel, and, of course, the innocence or guilt of the defendant depend. Lord ELLENBORpUGH said, if the publication was calumnious, the Judge and Jury could not care as to the truth of it. Mr. CUR%VOOD conceived that the question would be, if it was calumnious. If the facts were true, and the language in which they were stated was temperate, he conceived the publication could only be regarded as a discussion of public measures, or of the acts of Ministers,' which could not be denied to the public of this country, without trenching on the liberty of the press, so essential to a flee state.: Therefore, to prove the facts stated in the publica tion, the presence . of the witnesses enumerated in the affidavits was material. Lord ELL'ENBOROUGH said, the calumnious nature of the Oublication had nothing to do with the facts. As he now understood it, the publication charged Lord Castlereagh with employing the powers of hts office in executing his own private purposes of -re venge. If :inch was the nature of the assertion, there could be no doubt of the calumny. The. truth or falsehOod of the charge was not at issue, and cool(' have no eff,tt- on it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hod no obje&ion to the question being put to Lord Castlereagh himself ; buit mild farther, he could inform the Learned Gen tlediaii, that Lord Castlereagh knew nothing of the. preventingorder for. Mr. Finnerty from accompany jug' the expedition till after it had b.ten issued. Mr. FINNERTY presented himself to the attention Of the Court, but - Lord ELLEN BOROUGH told him, they-had already heard him by his Counsel: - The application for postponing the trial. was.ac . eordingly refused. SURRY THEATRE RIOTERS. On an application to the Court, to Make the. Rule absolute winch was obtained on Tuet.fay last for a, criminal information against Messrs. Slater, *Sarel,. and Barrett, Mr. Park moved to have theßuile larged till next term on the patt of . MeSS . IS. Slater and Sarel. Mr. Park stated that 'those . defendants had not been served with a copy of tl,:e affidav,ii.s till Thursday they then called a ineeting,of, per sons who had been witnesses of their condd'a at the . Theatre, but only four attended. The affidavits tor the prosecution were of immense length, end_tc was impossiblesto colle& the affidavits in answer soon enough to be in time. I Lord ELLENBOROUGH..--." They don't want a multitude of affidavits. If 'they could, they might. bring a plain denial of the charge,' and we would have attended to their request for enlarging the pre sent rule. There 'has been obviously a tumult, and they ought to have given some satisfa4tion to the Court on that subject." Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL:" My Lord, the rule. was founded on fa6ts, and they might - have been answered in a moment, if they could have beenan swered at all. r hese fads were, they declared on one night 'that they would bring a party to disturb the Theatre. On that night they did disturb it : on another'night they proclaimed their intention of let ting the Theatre remain quiet ; and on that night there was no tumult, according to their declara tion." Mr. PARK.--" Your Lordship will, perhaps, en large the rule till to-morrow." Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" That would be in ef fe& to grant the enlargement till next term." Rule made absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,-juLY 9. WHEATLET Z. WALTON, AND OTHERS. In this' case Mr. Serjeant BEST sheaved cause against a Rule, obtained by Mr. Serjeant Shepherd, jto enter ud.2,rnent as in case of nonsuit. It appeared that the a&ion was tried in the City ; it .was upon a policy of 'insurance, in which the plain tiff recovered damages against the defendants. Mr. Serjeant Shepherd, however, in moving for his Rule, contended' that the plaintiff had negleated to. comply with the legal stipulations which would entitle him to' a verdiEt ; and on reference to the A6t, the pro priety of - the arguments on the part of the defend ants were fully admitted. • Mr. Serjeant BEST exerted his ingenuity in adduc ing the :most specious sophistries; but, it had' not the desired effeet, as it was impossible to. -decide in his favour without repealing the Mt.cif Par liament. - • Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD'S Rule was therefore made absolute. _ COURT OF ARCHES, DOCTORS COMMONS, MONDAY, JULY 9. ANDREWS, APPELLANT, AGAINST BONE, RESPON- DENT. This Oas originally a cause of the offide of the Judge, voluntarily promoted by Loveday Bone, wife. of Wm. Bone, of Plymouth Dock, in the County of Devon, against GraCe Andrews, by reason of adul tery, alleged to have been committed with the said I William Bone, her husband, It appeared that the .COnsistorial Court of Exeter admitted the allegation in this cause, froth which admission Grace Andrews prosecuted an appeal, On the part of • the Appellant it was contended (who resided in the ,house of the it..!iprnitlont in the capacity of shop-maid) that thep:tily had-no oppor tunity of detenjing hersdf agaii,st a charge of this nature, in thernanner the articles IL:ZI been 'pleaded before the Court, no specific tat haVing been set t , p —lt was also contended, that under an at of P:; liament of his .pr sent Najk , sty it was enacte , l; ." That a suit of this desctiption must be b r ought within eight Months of 'the offence alleged to have been committed between the .parties." Atter the Learned Civilian had been . heard on the:part of Ole li..spondent-, the Learned Judge (Sir. John .Ntcholl) observed, that suits of thiskind were very rare.; that he did not recoiled any. one - being .brought dpri!lg his attendauce at Doctors' Commons, at the S6fild tittle he was bound to'attend to it, but it wos a !:nit of a very novel nature, it being bt ought by a married woman against a single woman for adultery, com mitted with her own husband. The Learned Judge , further observed, he , was riot aware. that a ;parried . woman was allowed•to IA the voluntary pr o mo ter of a criminal suit, without the consent of the husband; therefore be would be sorry to establish t The Learned Judge, after several other observations, rejected the allegation, and dismissed the party, CIRCUIT'S OF TIME JUDGES.
